The FAA has today announced that it will finally allow the use of certain electronic devices during all phases of flight — including takeoff and landing. We’ve long been able to use devices while the plane is in the air, but you’ll no longer be forced to turn them off and put them away at certain times.

US Airways has launched its official app on Google Play, authorizing passengers access to boarding passes, travel itineraries, and Admiral Club locations throughout the U.S., directly from their Android smartphone or tablet. Users will also have the ability to search for the ideal flight, making it possible to plan and book a trip straight from their mobile device.
